Control Chart Constants for Largest and Smallest In Sampling from a Normal Distribution Using the Generalized Burr Distribution

This paper represents a first detailed study of the application of a generalized probabi1ity distribution, the Burr distribution, to control charts for the maximum and minimum value in a sample of size n. The Burr distribrltion is a two parameter probability distribution with cumulative distribution function represented by This paper illustrates the application of the Burr distribution to control charts for the maximum and minimum value in sampling from a normal distribution and compares results with those previously derived using the standard normal distribution.
